T.J. Lane, who killed three students in an attack at Chardon High School in 2012, has escaped from prison in Lima, according to the Lima post of the State Highway Patrol.
Lane,19, was one of three inmates who escaped from the Allen Correctional Institution at 7:45 p.m. Thursday. One of the inmates was captured. Lane and another inmate, Clifford Opperud, 45, remain at large.
Lima police Sgt. Andy Green said a search was underway in woods and a residential area near the prison, and the two escapees are considered dangerous.
Authorities said they do not believe the two men are armed, however. They had no further information on how the inmates escaped from prison.
Opperud, 45, was serving a sentence for aggravated robbery, burglary, and kidnapping.
